Summary
ODVA, Inc. just updated its team by adding six new members from the U.S., Korea, Japan, and Switzerland, while 14 companies from around the world stepped away. These changes keep ODVA’s special antitrust protections active, meaning companies involved can only be sued for actual damages. This update keeps the group’s research project open for new members and shows ODVA’s ongoing commitment to collaboration.
